Electric poles pose risk in Udhampur

We want to draw the attention of the District Administration Udhampur, PDD department towards the bad condition of electric wires in Lower Meer in Panchari Udhampur.
The people have expressed serious concern over loosely hanging of electricity wires in the area. The high voltage wires are seen hanging over trees and wooden poles. Some of these poles have rotten, and may collapse any time. They even pose danger even during rainy days.
It may prove to be a catastrope of great magnitude in case remedial measures are not taken quickly.
The PDD authorities are requested to take cognizance of the matter without wasting further time.

Stray dogs menace in Durga Nagar

The problem of stray dogs in Durga Nagar Roop Nagar has assumed alarming situation. The stray dogs, in groups, at times become so violent that young and old inhabitants do not dare to come in streets, for purchasing essential commodities, medicines or vegetables. If you are driving a two wheeler and the mood of dogs is changed, you will be chased by these creatures right away in such a manner that you won’t dare to drive again in the lanes. The problem was discussed with the concerned officers a number of times, but they have not bothered to address the issue so far. It remains a nightmare to walk through streets especially during evening hours in presence of these dogs. The JMC authorities are once again requested to tackle the menace for the sake of residents living here.
